They updated the story: "Not long after the power company's announcement, the manufacturer, Chicago-based S&C Electric Company, released a statement saying that the power outage occurred because the electric load was too much for the equipment, "exceeding the trip setting for the switchgear relay as set by the system operators."
"Based on the onsite testing, we have determined that if higher settings had been applied, the equipment would not have disconnected the power," said Michael J.S. Edmonds, vice president of strategic solutions for the company.
